After Action Report
The Nets edged the Knicks 106-97. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Knicks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
